The Evening Hero by Marie Myung-Ok Lee

5.0

I need to read more Korean novels. I find that I really enjoy them, especially if they are historical fiction. Sadly, I do not know much about the Korean war or life in Korea at all and so I really learned a lot from this book. I can't imagine what a culture shock it was for Yungman and his wife when they moved to America. And then to go from being an OB/GYN to working with his son....wow. You have to read it to understand! I really enjoyed the flashback to Yungman growing up and trying to survive with his brother and mother. I also thought the ending tied everything up well. I highly recommend this book!
